Smartphone messaging is huge. So huge that WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger have both been downloaded more than 1 billion times – for Android alone.
As often, in hindsight, the rise of chat apps seems obvious and predictable. After all, people had direct conversations since the beginning of humanity. The popularity of letters, telephone calls and text messaging (SMS) showed that people happily use every solution and technology available in order to satisfy their personal communication needs.
In many ways, messaging apps simply allow people to optimize and improve their one-to-one communication. It is an evolutionary process, not a revolution. Existing needs are satisfied in new ways – unlike with traditional social networking, which invented a kind of barrier-free, low cost one-to-many communication unheard of before.
However, there is one usage pattern of messaging apps that did not exist in the past. Something which truly changes our communication habits and lets us have a type of conversation that just was not possible before: the permanent group chat.
The permanent group chat is a group chat on WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessage, Hangout, Line, Kik, Kakao Talk or any other messenger, which is not specifically tied to a certain event or date. It has no end, and apart from the day the group chat was opened up – possibly many years ago – it has no beginning either. Instead, a constant flow of chat messages is being exchanged by the group members. Sometimes there can be days, weeks or even months without anyone posting anything. But then, all of a sudden, a member of the group has something to say, and pushes the group back to the top of the chat list and thereby back into everyone's attention.
I am member of about 4 permanent group chats, consisting of about 3-5 people. A quick Twitter survey indicated that 5 parallel groups (+-2) could be a good average among people who participate in permanent group chats.
Each of the groups I am member of represents a different kind of friend circle. Some of the groups are receiving messages on a daily basis, some less frequently. One or two of the groups experience their biggest activity around events in the physical world (like when planning a dinner or beer together), whereas the others are mainly about sharing links and discussing topics of interests. I know of many others who participate in permanent group chats with family members, and I actually also have created one with both of my parents (which receives a lot of messages by the way).
The permanent group chat is like a digital representation of people hanging out in a casual setting with no specific purpose and lots of distractions. In the physical world, these scenarios naturally always are limited to certain periods of time. With messaging, we get the opportunity to hang out with people we enjoy exchanging thoughts, ideas and the occasional trash talk with on a regular basis – with no obligations or pressure to participate. No other technology before has made this possible in a practical and cost-effective manner.
Admittedly, there have been early forms of the permanent group chat before the likes of WhatsApp came onto the scene, such as threads in Online Forums (remember phpBB?), e-mail conversations between multiple recipients or even "private" IRC chatrooms. But in the end, the use cases, communication patterns and grade of connection between the "group members" were quite different from those of today's permanent chat groups, so I do see reason to indeed label the permanent group chat as something completely new.
For myself, the permanent group chat helps me to stay in touch with people I maybe do not meet very often in the physical world (because of geographical or time limitations), and it is a great source of ideas, inspiration and information. Also, it bridges the gap between far acquaintances and close friends. With a person you just met a couple of times, maybe initially in a work context, it could be awkward and a possible breach of social norms to immediately start to have regular one-to-one conversations. But as members of the same permanent chat group, you can get to know a person better in a relaxed, casual environment.
Currently, there is no end in sight to the rise of messaging apps. With each new smartphone user, there soon will be an additional user of messaging apps. Thus the phenomenon of permanent group chats will keep growing as well. The long term consequences for human interaction and our social network are yet to be determined. But it is clear now that messaging apps do not only substitute old ways of communication but also have created a very meaningful and powerful new way to converse.

Empowering Students Key to Education Reform
Esther Wojcicki, founder of the Palo Alto High School media arts programs and a MacArthur Foundation Research Fellow, presented at SOE in March.
By Jim Campbell
Esther Wojcicki, founder of the Palo Alto High School media arts programs and a MacArthur Foundation Research Fellow, described herself in a recent talk at the School of Education as a classroom teacher who was tired of not being effective.
A journalism class instructor, she found she could be more successful when she allowed her students to think for themselves and let them decide the type of projects they wanted to work on. "My goal was to empower students to be whatever they wanted to be."
Wojcicki, who began teaching in 1984, said schools operate much the same they did a century ago. Teachers lecture and students are tested on materials presented in class.
"We're losing many students because education is not relevant to their lives," she said. "If we're going to change things to make education more meaningful, we need a concerted national effort similar to what it took to put a man on the moon in the 1960's."
Initially, she followed the manual and did everything the school administration asked of her. By the end of the year, the first-year teacher realized her students were miserable and not engaged. Attendance was poor and they were not participating in class. She contemplated quitting. After discussing her future with her husband, a Stanford physics professor, he suggested that she didn't have anything to lose if she challenged the system. She decided to stay.
A "revolutionary" change in her thinking occurred the following year when a state grant enabled her to buy Macintosh computers for her classroom. Wojcicki had no clue how to use them. Eventually, after a few weeks of not faking it very well, she admitted this to her students and asked for their help.
"Not only did they figure out how to use them, they set up their own network. The ability to let students decide what projects they wanted to work on was the beginning of my blended-learning model."
Elements of the model include students working in small groups, expanded use of technology and teachers serving as coaches. There is little lecturing and instructors use mastery learning where students keep working on content until they understand it. The only grade given is an A when a subject is mastered. This system empowers both the individual student and the other students in the classroom whose expertise is demonstrated as they help one another.
Last year she published her ideas in the book, Moonshot in Education: Launching Blended Learning in the Classroom. The model is based on five characteristics: trust, respect, independence, collaboration and kindness. Each is important, she said, to the overall culture of the classroom.
"The first action a teacher needs to take when school starts is to set up this culture. It's also important to understand that the teacher is not the only expert in the room. Students can know more than the teacher about some aspects of what they will be doing together."
In the past two years, eight teenagers have died by suicide in the Palo Alto district. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the city is home to some of the nation's most competitive public schools. A former California Teacher of the Year, Wojcicki is critical of the emphasis on testing.
"The over-testing is contributing to a suicide epidemic. There's a lot of pressure for students to do well, to get into the best colleges."
The Palo Alto program has become the largest media program in the nation, with 600-plus students and a new 25,000-square-foot media arts center. Students produce six publications, including a daily newspaper and two feature magazines. They also operate a TV studio and produce live broadcasts of the Palo Alto City Council.
Palo Alto High School is an affluent public school with high parent involvement, but Wojcicki believes this shift in teacher preparation can be scaled to other schools in the nation. She thinks all children can learn better and be more engaged in their own education if more teachers, administrators and school districts embraced this movement, which she has pushed for more than three decades.
"My district is finally offering teacher prep training using this model this summer. It takes a little naivete and a lot of conviction to change our education system, but we know we can do better for our students. That's what's most important."
Student Stories
Doctoral Candidate's Students Use Drone Technology to Solve Parking Problem
By Jim Campbell
When Ruston High School in Louisiana was experiencing severe parking congestion due to increasing enrollment, the school principal asked Dustin Whitlock, who teaches in the New Tech@Ruston project, if his students could find ways to solve the problem.
Using the latest drone technology, mapping skills from their geometry and geography classes, and what they learned about zoning and parking regulations, the students presented detailed recommendations to the school administration. Based largely on the work of Whitlock's students, a new parking plan will be implemented this summer.
Whitlock, a School of Education doctoral (EdD) student, was named last fall the 2015 Louisiana Secondary Teacher of the Year by the Louisiana Association of Computer Using Educators. The award is given to educators for outstanding work in utilizing technology, promoting positive digital citizenship, and being a leader in the implementation of new technologies for the benefit of student learning.
"The recognition for our achievements here at New Tech is a tremendous honor, and it will encourage us to continue to push forward in teaching and learning about new technology," said Whitlock.
Whitlock teaches social studies and English at New Tech, a project-based learning program that offers high school students the opportunity to learn by working on real-world problems that relate to their everyday lives. The program stresses technology use, collaboration, oral communications and content and curriculum knowledge.
Whitlock's students used drone technology to take aerial photographs of the parking spots during the day in order to see where students park and where parking could be rearranged to allow more students to park legally. They collaborated with city and state officials to make sure they were meeting all zoning and parking requirements.
"I was so proud of my students for the work they did on the parking problem," he said. "They presented an excellent plan to the school administration."
Lincoln Parish School coordinator Cathi Cox-Boniol credits Whitlock with opening doors for students. "I think about the project using drones to solve a parking problem at the school. They were using cutting-edge technology while working on an authentic problem that required them to exercise their 21st-century skills," she said. "His is a visionary process, and it is really helping propel students into exciting and challenging arenas that have the potential for being real game-changers for them."
Sophomore Gabriel Allen said: "Mr. Whitlock is always challenging us. That's why I'm glad to have him as a teacher. He pushes us and challenges in ways we weren't aware of."
Whitlock is in the second year of the EdD program. His doctoral research project is focused on teacher attrition in project-based learning. He hopes to do more professional development on its benefits for new teachers.

Student and Alumni Network and Discuss Pathways to Leadership
Distinguished alumni from the School of Education discussed their roads to leadership at the fall Student and Alumni Networking Event. Chief Tim Altomare '07, Selena Eldridge '10, Joseph Manko '07 and Christine Manlove '88 were panelists for the evening, which was moderated by State Senator Bill Ferguson '07. Each panelist provided insight into their personal methods of leadership, the difficulties they have faced, and their accomplishments.
As panelists responded to questions from Senator Ferguson, key themes began to develop. One such trait of successful leading is the ability to trust your own moral compass and to use that knowledge to make executive decisions. Audience members walked away with information on the ability to recognize and identify how leadership skills are dynamic and evolving. One guest said afterward that "the discussion and dinner with the panelists was helpful," and another said: "The various insights from leaders in different areas was great."
Chief Tim Altomare '07 started his police career with the Annapolis Police Department and Tim was appointed to Chief of Police for Anne Arundel County in December of 2014. He holds both bachelors and master's degrees in management from the Johns Hopkins University Division of Public Safety Leadership.
Selena Eldridge '10 is the director of Safe Harbor Christian Counseling of Anne Arundel County where she works with adolescents and adults of all ages, doing individual, marital and family counseling. Eldridge received her bachelors in psychology from Towson University and her master's in clinical community counseling from Johns Hopkins University School of Education.
Joe Manko '07 was named one of nine people who will shape education in the next decade by Education Week. Manko has been principal at one of the Baltimore's highest performing elementary schools, Liberty Elementary for the past five years. He started teaching social studies at Booker T. Washington Middle School while earning his master's in the art of teaching at the School of Education. He later returned to the school to earn his master's with a focus on school administration and instructional technology.
Christine Manlove '88 is the Executive Director at St. Elizabeth School in Baltimore, a middle and high school for students with special learning and behavior needs serving students ages 10-21, grades 6-12. Previously, Manlove was Principal at St. Francis School for Special Education. She received her Master's Degree in Education from the Johns Hopkins University School of Education in 1981 and her Doctorate in 1988.
Bill Ferguson '07 has been a member of Maryland State Senate since January 2011. Born in Silver Spring, Maryland, Ferguson attended Davidson College, earning a B.A. in political science and economics. He received his MAT as a Teach for America high school teacher in Baltimore City Public Schools from the Johns Hopkins University School of Education in 2007. Ferguson went on to earn his J.D., magna cum laude, from the University of Maryland School of Law in 2010. He became the Director of Reform Initiatives at the School of Education in 2012.

Kingston Trios founding member Nick Reynolds dies at 75October 4th, 2008 - 2:33 pm ICT by ANI
London, October 4 (ANI): Nick Reynolds, the founding member of Kingston Trio, who jump-started the revival folk scene of the late 1950s, has passed away. He was 75.
The American folk musician, who died in San Diego on October 1, had been hospitalised with acute respiratory disease and left the world after his family decided to take him off the ventilator.
Taught to play the guitar by his father, the artist wooed the people through his honest and reachable music.
"Dad was so happy he turned people onto music in a way that people could really approach it, in a simple and honest way," BBC quoted son Josh Reynolds.
"He was a very gracious and loving performer," he added.
A devoted family man Reynolds left the group in 1967 to give concentrate on raising his family.
Moving back to California, he, however, reunited with the band in mid-1980s until his retirement
The Kingston Trios cover of the folk song Tom Dooley, that launched the bands career, was a chart hit in 1958, while their debut hit by the same name topped the country and western performance category at the inaugural Grammys in 1959.
The group went on to win a Grammy in the following year for Best Folk Performance, with their album The Kingston Trio At Large.
The Trio even paved the way for artists such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. (ANI)

The Field Museum got 150 meteorites -- almost two and a half pounds of them ? from the event.
"I expected we would get a piece like this. But we got more than a kilogram of pieces there laid out on the table there," Dr. Philipp Heck, assistant curator of meteorite studies, said.
The space stones are in Chicago because of Terry Boudreaux, one of the world's greatest meteorite collectors. He and a partner sent a team to Russia the day after the event and negotiated to buy the treasures.
"The local villagers actually went out in three feet of snow on their snow skis and looked for holes in the snow. They would dig down with plastic shovels and find these little pieces and throw them in their pockets," Boudreaux said.
What's the difference between an asteroid, a meteor and a meteorite? An asteroid is in space and is over ten meters. A meteoroid is smaller than that, and the space rock is called a meteor when it hits the atmosphere, and a meteorite when it explodes into thousands of pieces.
"We estimate this meteorite is 4.5 billion years old ... Or little bit older. And it came from the inner main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter," Heck said.
The meteor was big when it hit the atmosphere-- 55 feet across and tons of trouble.
"Ten thousand tons or 11,000 tons is what they estimate the mass was," Boudreaux said.
They might be from outer space but they're very close to us.They are us.
"We're all made of the same materials. We're all made of the stars. So, you're right. It's us coming back. The same stuff you find in meteorites you find in us sometimes," Jim Holstein, meteorite collections manager, said.
Some of these pieces will be on exhibit at The Field Museum.

Are you one of the many people in America who have an office job requiring you to sit for multiple hours on end? You might want to take a second to read this and consider the risks that your job has on your health !
We as humans are not meant to grind through our work mentally for hours on end. Nor are we meant to be sprinting, lifting and working out all day either. We can create a healthy work-life balance not only outside of work, but also during work.Knowing what strategies to take to make your life better and long lasting can be the key to a healthier lifestyle.
First let'start with your desk. A standing desk is necessary if you're going to have a long-term career in an office. WHY ? A standing desk will increase blood flow throughout the body, help you avoid joint pain, lengthen the tendons and ligaments that are constantly flexed while sitting, and will create a psychological sense of freedom.
However if standing is NOT an option, here are some better ways to decrease your risk when sitting.
-Sit with a nice, tall posture, with your shoulders rolled back and down. Your chest should be pushed slightly outward and your feet should be flat on the floor. Your neck will be in line with the rest of your spine, not leaned forward. Your feet, legs, knees, and hips should all form 90-degree angles.
-Engage your muscles when sitting.You can flex your core, do calf raises and even clench your butt muscles. Sure you might feel silly but you are protecting your body from the damages of sitting all day. No matter what you do, always strive for some minimal movement while sitting.
Go outside !! Yes take a quick walk around the office on your lunch break, Go in the sunshine ! Every hour or two, take a 5-minute break to go outside to breathe fresh air, see actual sunlight, and get out of the office atmosphere.If other employees can take smoke breaks, you should be able to take nature breaks too.
Maybe on your lunch break do some form of meditation. It doesn't matter where. Find a nice and quiet place to put your mind OFF and take 5 minutes to collect your thoughts. Your little getaway can be anywhere from a grassy median in the parking lot to an empty, unused conference room.
Get in some extra movement by taking the stairs. This is a small change that adds a lot of activity to your life over time. If you struggle at first, make it a challenge to see how far you can get without taking a break. Keep track each day and be proud of your improvements. Be a bathroom gypsy! Go to a different floor so you have to walk and get there !
It is more important than ever for companies to invest in their employees' health by giving workers more freedom with small breaks intermittently throughout the day, and creating an environment that encourages personal well-being.
If you are more productive, more creative, constantly engaged while at work, and bringing in better results, there is really nothing your boss can complain about. Let your work speak for your actions. Hopefully your company will take notice and create an environment that invests in all of its employees.

Meaning in life comes from what we each do. Have you ever given this sentence much thought. Although this seems like an obvious observation, how often do we actually take responsibility for our lives and what we do to enrich it. So, that infamous statement, "Life sucks, and then you die" actually means, we have failed to give meaning to the moments, days, months and years of our lives. Who shall we blame that on? I love this quote " we are all unique artists with the ability to create our own masterpiece "
This holds true to our lives as well. We are all human and we have our moments of feeling like we have been dealt a bad set of cards but the truth is, we are only sad because we are holding onto what we thought our lives would be. We are holding on to what we thought would give our lives value based on what we have read, or watched or heard since we were little ones.
But what if you let go and just forgot about what you have read and what you had heard as a little child…and you stop caring about what your friends paths were or your cousins..and you just decided to let your path be what it is and you truly relinquished control (I love this saying!!).
Do you think that if you let go of the way you thought things should be, perhaps you would be more open to other opportunities, perhaps you would see or try things, you never considered and this might just be a wonderful fulfilling thing as opposed to living someone else's dream, expectations, story.
Live your own unique life, stop worrying about where you thought you should have been or could have been. A Buddhist teacher taught me one day that guilt and shame only hold us back because they don't let you progress spiritually or physically for that matter. You can't move forward if you feel like crap. So let go of it…because it is never too late to start a new journey.

The Rio Olympics was a seventeen day celebration of athletic excellence. Competitors from around the world showcased their amazing talents on the track, in the pool and on the pitch in a colorful and spirited fashion. The time, effort and sacrifice the Olympians put in to make it to Rio was clearly on display, and a major part of the Olympic journey that was chronicled during the games.
The performances of Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky and Usain Bolt captivated the minds and emotions of event attendees and TV viewers across the world, and garnered those athletes more than just medals: their achievements will undoubtedly lead to enormous corporate endorsement from leading brands like Gatorade, Speedo and Under Armour, just to name a few. Sponsor brands love the affiliation with sporting achievement, and will pay millions of dollars annually to associate with athletes like Bolt, whose endorsement portfolio already grosses some $30M annually.
With all of the success that comes along with the Olympics, there always seems to be some controversy that clouds the games. In Rio, it came in the form of athletes from the U.S. Swim Team, whose poor judgement (and subsequent encounters with Rio authorities) became a much bigger story than the games being contested. The fundamental values of honesty and integrity were not on display from the American athletes involved in the incident, and their poor judgement cost some their reputation and others their large corporate sponsors.
Morals clauses in most personal service agreements with corporate partners are present for this very situation, and designed to protect brands from athletes' poor decisions. In this case, the athletes' lack of overall good judgement put them in a situation where they will now have to work hard to repair their reputations while forfeiting potentially significant future earnings potential.
This unfortunate situation certainly put a damper on the conclusion of the U.S. contingent's participation in Rio. However, it serves as a valuable reminder to athletes around the globe that exercising bad judgement off the playing field (or out of the pool) has very real and public consequences.

I'm unable to post to my gallery! I've tried to sort it out but nothing seems to let me in I'm trying Flickr but also having trouble posting to that. So until I can resolve the hosting of my photos I can't really post any up dates.
I would be interested in if any of you are having similar problems with the KitMaker gallery and what hosting site do you use?

Chad Fischer
What is your name?
Chad Fischer
Where are you from?
I grew up in Green Bay, WI, less than two miles from Lambeau Field.
What is your profession?
I am a process engineer at Intel. Essentially, I help make the world a better place, one Excel spreadsheet at a time.
Describe your family? (i.e. husband, wife, kids, siblings, mom dad, etc. )
My mom and dad still live in Green Bay. I have a younger sister, brother-in-law and two nephews in Madison, WI. I also have an absolutely wonderful girlfriend, Anna. Amongst other things, she is incredibly talented at designing and constructing an awesome running relay costume. Any craziness that I have worn in these relays has been entirely her idea.
What obstacle(s) have you found most challenging in your life?
Many times in life I've found myself shying away from a challenge because I couldn't fully map out in my brain all the solutions for each step I may encounter along the way. Although this is something I continue to work on, I feel that Sweat has been a great environment in encouraging me to worry less about how things may turn out and focus more on the act of just giving it my all in the midst of what I am working on.
How did you discover SWEAT360?
I discovered Sweat360 essentially 4 years ago to the month when my former roommate, Jeff Garrett, recommended it to me. My fitness world prior to Sweat had degraded into mostly unproductive trips to 24-Hour and LA Fitness. I have always loved exercise, but my routine was growing quite stale. In search of something different, I moved onto P90X. The change was good, but I dreaded the start of each of those workouts and it was only my desire to fully finish the 90 days that kept me going. It was right after this, while I contemplated "what next", that Jeff said to me, "I've been going to a place that I think you should check out". Damn it Jeff, why didn't you tell me 90 days sooner?!
What is your favorite class at SWEAT360?
TRX, Ride and Yoga are all classes I really enjoy, but High Def is probably my favorite. I love the variety of exercises offered in High Def. After 100's and 100's of classes (ok, 445 according to my schedule history), I don't think I've done two High Def classes which were exactly the same. I appreciate the thought and design that goes into the programing of the workouts. I feel this programming results in the strengthening of my entire body and strikes a good balance of challenging us and at the same time being mindful so as to not expose us to a high risk of injury. Feeling that I can trust in the instruction being given is something that is very important to me. Lastly, I absolutely love the comradery in these workouts. I love that the atmosphere of High Def allows us to encourage and push one another and at the same time rib one another so that we don't take ourselves too seriously.
What keeps you motivated and inspired?
I really enjoy exercise. Becoming stronger and healthier are two great results of exercise, but at the simplest level I love how exercise makes me feel when I'm doing it and I hate how I feel after I've been without for a few weeks. Additionally, I've learned that getting back on the horse after getting off is certainly more challenging than just continuing to ride so this has also been motivation for me to keep exercise a regular part of my routine. Fitness is something that I want to always be a part of my life so I feel that what I am doing today is helping to preserve what I'll be able to do tomorrow.
Describe your perfect day?
My perfect day would begin the same way as essentially all my days do, with 2-3 eggs (scrambled) and sausage. It would continue with a morning workout; my favorite workout of course (see question #7). And while I would push myself to absolute exhaustion during this workout, any feelings of muscle fatigue and soreness would disappear to almost nothing after having a chance to refuel. Since this day is indeed perfect and not wanting to let it go to waste, I'd enter my first ever, Class A cyclocross race that afternoon and win it. On the drive home I'd realize that my fantasy football team completely dominated and secured that season's league championship. I'd end the day watching the Green Bay Packers win the Super Bowl (a record 14th championship).
What did SWEAT360 provide for you short term?
Short term, Sweat helped transform many thoughts I had around exercise. It helped me realize that it is possible to really enjoy and look forward to exercise and at the same time really push myself while doing it. It helped me realize the importance in areas of fitness that I had not focused on previously; namely core strength and flexibility (yoga!). And it helped me realize that exercise is best shared with friends working right alongside of you. It also introduced to me the routine of an early morning workout; which, even to a "morning person", initially sounded crazy, but I later realized was incredibly invigorating. Morning workouts have helped change my mindset from being one of apprehension towards what my day may bring, to being one of excitement to take on and beat that day's challenges. Pre-Sweat I would routinely ask myself whether I had the time or energy to spend towards exercise. Now I ask whether I can afford not to exercise and the answer is almost always, "no" as my Sweat routine provides me with far more than it consumes. To me, Sweat was one of those things in life that I wasn't smart enough to realize I needed before being introduced to it; but after discovering it, I couldn't imagine what it would be like to live without it; It's very similar to a smartphone in that regard!
What did SWEAT360 provide for you long term?
Long term, Sweat helped introduce me to an awesome group of friends that I've enjoyed spending time with both inside the gym and out. It also moved me towards participating in several 'outside of the gym' activities that I don't feel I would have ventured towards on my own; namely 12 person running relays (EPIC/Cascade Lakes) and cyclocross. And cyclocross later dovetailed into my first single and double century bike rides. In a way, Sweat has been a gateway drug towards bigger and better things.
What is your life mantra? (i.e. Live. Laugh. Love. Etc.)
I can't say that I have adopted a formal life mantra but one that resonates with me is:
Be Positive, Patient and Persistent.

Growing numbers of women are turning to hair restoration surgery
as a permanent solution to reverse hair loss. Surveys conducted
by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS)
showed the proportion of female patients worldwide had increased
from 11.4% in 2004 to 15.1% in 2008.
Women are increasingly frustrated with temporary fixes and can appreciate the gradual and permanent results offered through hair transplantation.
The most common type of hair loss affecting women is the genetically determined female pattern hair loss, which is usually characterized by visible thinning over the scalp, but the frontal hairline is usually unaffected. An initial indication of this form of hair loss is a decrease in the body of a pontyail or a widening of any hair parting.
Prior to the commencement of any treatment programme, Dr. Saifi will discuss with you the cause of your hair loss and the potential medical and surgical treatment options to address the situation. He will hold a full consultation with you prior to starting restorative treatment.
He offers patients the very latest advancements in hair restoration surgery and proven medical treatments to help women to permanently restore thinning hair.
During your procedure, Dr Saifi will meticulously split tiny grafts from your existing hair and transplant them skillfully into the thinning or balding areas of the scalp. Hair growth appears gradually and is typically fully grown within 12 to 18 months. We make concerted efforts to ensure that the results of your hair restoration surgery are subtle, natural looking and virtually undetectable.

This is a great simple pavlova based desert with that 'wow' factor – perfect to serve at dinner parties. All your friends will think you have spent hours in the kitchen; little do they know you have sat with your feet up having a nice glass of wine before they got there…
Easy Eton Mess Desert Recipe Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- 180g caster sugar
- Pinch cream of tartar
- Carton pure cream
- Punnet fresh berries (whatever is in season)
- 1 tblspn berry liqueur or grand marnier
- Handful toasted slivered almonds
- 50g dark chocolate, finely grated or shaved (I use Lindt 70%)
Easy Eton Mess Desert Recipe Method
Preheat the oven to 160°, and line a flat baking tray with non stick baking paper (you could also use foil, just spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent the meringue from sticking).
Whip the egg whites in a bowl with the cream of tartar using an electric mixer (you can do this by hand with a whisk, but be prepared to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger at the end of it!) Once you have reached the firm peaks stage (when you can pull the electric mixer away from the egg whites and they stand in peaks), start adding a tablespoon of caster sugar at a time. Make sure that you beat very well after each addition to dissolve the sugar.
Once all of the caster sugar has been dissolved, spread the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking tray, so that it is approx 1 inch thick. Bake in the oven for approx 30 minutes to 1 hour until the meringue is dry. Turn off the oven and leave the meringue in the oven with the door slightly ajar until cooled completely. Once cool break into bite size pieces. If you want to make the meringue in advance, simply store in an airtight container for up to a week (if it has softened you might want to re-crisp it in a low oven for 10-15 minutes, then allow to cool completely before assembly).
Whilst meringue is cooking, chop the berries (if using raspberries or blueberries don't bother chopping them), then place in a bowl with the liqueur, and allow to stand to infuse. Whip the cream until soft/medium peaks form.
To assemble, take 4-6 (depending on size of glasses – mixture makes enough for 6 x 250mL glasses) short tumbler or margarita glasses. Place a couple of pieces of meringue in the bottom of each glass, top with a tablespoonful of cream and then a tablespoonful of the berry mixture (reserve some cream for the top layer). Repeat until you have used all ingredients and top with reserved cream. Sprinkle with toasted almonds, grated chocolate and serve.

On The Whole, We'd Rather Be Growing Cannabis...
We started Solidarity Nursery Cooperative in the summer of 2016, after the passage of the Medical Cannabis Registration and Safety Act of 2015, thinking that the State of California and local municipalities would have a permitting process in place soon.
It is now two years later, and there are no cannabis nursery permits available, and all federal protections for state legal cannabis have been rescinded by the small minded arch-racist Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Because of this, we will be focusing on producing food plants and ornamentals this spring.
Check back soon for information on our upcoming plant sales, and hope that we can one day open our worker cooperative cannabis nursery and seed library.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: LEGO® Bricks are for way more than playtime! They can stimulate your kids' critical thinking skills in so many ways. Here are just a few ideas that you can do together – quickly and easily – at home. They'll have so much fun, they won't even mind that they're stretching their minds!
Storytelling: Create scenes from books you're currently reading. Or, create an original scene, completely from your imagination, and then tell a story about what you've made. Alternately, have one person create the original scene and the other person tell the story!
Speed round: Create an item with a pre-determined number and type of pieces. Set a timer, and quickly do your build. Then start over and try it again! Do several rounds and go on to discuss which was your favorite and why. Compare and contrast what you created each time with the same inventory.
Guessing games: Create an item and give your player 10 or 20 questions to ask before they have to guess what you made. Take turns being the builder and the guesser.
Take it further: Build a complicated pattern, and see if your child can continue it correctly. See if they can make a pattern to stump you!
Mirror, mirror: Have your child create the symmetrical, mirror image of a pattern you make. Again, switch places and mirror their creation.
Listen carefully: Build a partition between you and your child. While you build a simple structure, have them follow only your verbal instructions to create an identical one. Compare when you're finished. Do they look the same? Change roles and let your child be the one giving the commands. They'll see how important clear directions are!
Any of these activities provide a great way to have fun with your kids and be brainy at the same time. For more great ways to have fun and learn with LEGO® Bricks visit our Bricks 4 Kidz website!

text: So I was surfing youtube, and found "American McDonalds vs Japanese McDonalds" and it lead to "Japanese McDonald commercials" to "Funny Japanese commercials" Well not really. Half the videos titled "Japanese commercials" were not in Japanese. People's language distinguish system is broken, or are intensionally japan-rolling. I didn't go to Canadian school except for an year, and my French is really bad. I can't sing the national anthem in French AT ALL. So if somthing sounds like French, but also sounds like Spanish, and I have no idea if it could be German, I don't take random guesses; "European language" does the job. (Yeah so even it were in fact English, I would still be right =P) And as for Asian languages, I used to live in Hong Kong and I can semi-tell if someone's Cantonese or mainlander by just looking. Cantonese/Mandarin/Japanese/Korean/Singaporean languages all have some key features, and quite frequently it shows even when they speak in English. (I haven't had much exposure to Mongolian and Taiwanese so they're hard to tell, both appearance and language) This is kinda off-topic, but I'm not sure if I should use the lovespoon in Canada. I don't want "WTF is this? I was expecting a ring and you give me a freaking wooden spoon?", but explaining beforehand spoils the "pop" and explaining when I'm giving breaks the mood =P

Nirro is one of those places that does everything for cars, their specialty is second-hand parts and servicing. Nirro is a great company as they offer mail order and they have good prices what's more before sending anything out to you they thoroughly check that's its working.
If you don't have the time to check the shop online now, you're in luck. Nirro does not specialize in one car instead they try to provide all make car parts. I had the honor of using their company on several occasions and I've always been happy. Nirro are in a class of their own when it comes to customer service and insuring that all their customers get exactly the service needed: Nirro is a wonderful breakers. Try visiting them for yourself.
If you're wondering what you can do–besides visiting Nirro's warehouse, of course–Nirro can specialize in one car alone but this is far to cornered for the objective they' trying to reach in selling to clients anywhere in London and the UK. As they continue to mastermind their production and advertising be it on the web, newspaper or the radio which may well later expand to appearing nationally via TV!

So I found out last night that the previous owner of my jet ski seemingly removed the bracket that supports the whole exhaust assembly off the front of the engine. Consequently, the entire thing was hanging off the exhaust manifold and finally broke off during a ride. It was the upper exhaust pipe that actually broke (look at part number 18049-3754). My riding is totally recreational, and while I'd love to have an aftermarket exhaust, I would prefer the cheapest solution to getting back on the water vs. the best solution for performance.
At this point, my biggest problem is I can't find the stock part anywhere, and it doesn't even seem like anyone makes the aftermarket exhausts for 750's anymore either. I do see tons of the equivalent part for the 750ss engine of the same year. Does anyone happen to know if that part will work? It definitely looks different, but I can't tell if the interfaces are the same. Otherwise, does anyone happen to have a stock exhaust for a 750sx laying around that they would part with?
I'm open to any other ideas as well

Part I Enjoy! I started my senior year in high school at an all boys school. I had spent the previous 3 years of school deprived of a lot of interaction with girls. It got better when I got my driver's license but I still did not have a girlfriend. Since I was held back a year before Kindergarten, I was 18 before the start of Senior Year. Senior year was supposed to be a breeze, until I found out who my English teacher was for that year, Miss Dunnegan. Her class was known to be one of the hardest at the school. Past students have said she assigned hours of homework everyday and the tests were impossible. With English being my worst class, I knew this year was going to be rough. It all changed when I walked into room 114 in September. Miss D was probably in her late 20s and she still looked pretty young. She had long, curly, red hair which made her crystal blue eyes pop. She was about 5 foot 3 or so and her body was skinny-average. Her tits were probably a B cup, which was somewhat disappointing. The best part of Miss D, which made senior year English the best class ever, was the angelic ass that protruded out for everyone to see. I never paid attention to anything in class except for her ass. When she wore pants, they were always super tight and showed off her ass. Also, when she wore pants I could see the panty lines of her thong. When she wore a skirt or dress, that was even better. I sat in the front row of the class and she always sat on her stool in front of me when ...

Malaysian Telco awards RM32 million contract to French company
KUALA LUMPUR, 19 AUGUST 2008 - Malaysian telecommunications provider Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) has chosen French communications giant Alcatel-Lucent to supply an Internet protocol (IP)-based fixed broadband access solution that will help roll out triple play services.
Triple play services involve the provisioning of two broadband services - high-speed Internet access and television - and a narrowband service telephone - over a single broadband connection.
The two-year project, worth RM32 (US$9.54) million, in collaboration with local ICT solution provider KUB Telekomunikasi Sdn Bhd (KUBTel), would allow TM to cost-effectively roll out triple play services and extend its nationwide coverage.
Shared responsibilities
Alcatel-Lucent would be responsible for the network integration and maintenance, while KUBTel would install and commission the system, also providing nationwide technical support.
Alcatel-Lucent Malaysia country manager and managing director, Pierre Cheyron, said: This project reinforces our strategic relationship with KUBTel and TM, which has already selected Alcatel-Lucent's Metro Ethernet and aggregation solutions. With our industry-leading IP broadband access, TM is now equipped with the key component of Alcatel-Lucent's Triple Play Services Delivery Architecture.
Cheyron added that Alcatel-Lucent would supply its 7302 Intelligent Services Access Manager (ISAM) and the related 5523 AWS Element Manager.

We pursue robust approach to pricing and hedging in mathematical
finance. We develop a general discrete time setting in which some
underlying assets and options are available for dynamic trading and a
further set of European options, possibly with varying maturities, is
available for static trading. We include in our setup modelling beliefs by
allowing to specify a set of paths to be considered, e.g.
super-replication of a contingent claim is required only for paths falling
in the given set. Our framework thus interpolates between
model-independent and model-specific settings and allows to quantify the
impact of making assumptions. We establish suitable FTAP and
Pricing-Hedging duality results which include as special cases previous
results of Acciaio et al. (2013), Burzoni et al. (2016) as well the
Dalang-Morton-Willinger theorem. Finally, we explain how to treat further
problems, such as insider trading (information quantification) or American
options pricing.
Based on joint works with Burzoni, Frittelli, Hou, Maggis; Aksamit, Deng and Tan.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) (which is often misquoted as Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome) is a chronic pain condition which develops following trauma, and leads to persistent pain that is more severe and long lasting than would normally be expected. It is typically characterised by intense burning pain, increased skin sensitivity, changes in skin colour and temperature and abnormal nail and hair growth. The areas affected are most often the arms, hands, legs and feet.
From a diagnostic point of view, the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) recognise three types of CRPS:
- CRPS Type I – formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), where there is no obvious nerve damage;
- CRPS Type II – formerly known as Causalgia, where there is evidence of nerve damage.
- CRPS – NOS (Not Otherwise Specified) – where a person only partially satisfies the diagnostic criteria, but no other diagnosis can be made.
Although the NHS continue to characterise CRPS as a "poorly understood condition" there is increasing evidence that it may be an autoimmune disease. Indeed, the promising trial of low-dose intravenous immunoglobulin treatment (known as the LIPS trial), led by the internationally renowned Dr Andreas Goebel of the Walton centre in Liverpool, is proving very supportive of that theory.
Although many cases of CRPS do improve, many spontaneously, in some cases the pain never goes away and becomes a long term, debilitating condition. One study suggested that 1 in 3,800 people in the UK develop CRPS each year.
We have worked with many clients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and through them have developed not only an unrivalled understanding of the condition, but also excellent working relationships with many of the country's leading medical experts in the condition. We understand the fundamental importance of seeking early specialist treatment and are regularly able to arrange funding for the complete range of treatment options including residential pain management / rehabilitation. Indeed, where the condition has become entrenched and subject to a person's suitability and personal choice, we have also successfully arranged funding for a number of our clients to undergo spinal cord stimulation (SCS).
One of our specialist CRPS solicitors will be able to talk through your situation and make a realistic assessment of whether we can help you. Contact us using the form for a free, confidential conversation.

Stupid is as Stupid Does
Another cyclist run down and killed in Geelong today. A very common occurrence and it will continue while you have morons like this on the roads.
A common argument by the Bogans is that bike riders don't pay car registration hence they don't contribute to the road network. The insinuation is that they shouldn't be on the roads to get in the way of the mindless Neanderthals like Emma Way. Of course their feeble brains forget that nearly all bike riders are car owners too.
We stay off the bitumen as much as possible and yearn for roads like this.
The Odd One
Check out this photo of MP and some of her relations. See if you can pick the odd one out.
Great! So you all guessed that her cousin, Glen, on her left, is the only one with socks. Well done!
On her right is Glen's partner, Wendy, and "Shorty" is her nieces hubby, Jarryd. Now here's a picky of niece Aimee and moi.
Pick the odd one out now.
Dogbait Resurrected
It's been two years now since my meter reading days finished for good and to finally drag myself away from the clutches of the local canine gangs has been a bonus.
When I posted yesterday's blog, I was thinking the "Dogbait" nickname had outlived it's usefulness as the problem no longer existed and the local doggies would have now forgotten me. Yeah, right!
Having a lovely ride on a lovely sunny day and this piece of shyte takes a chunk out of my new socks. Fortunately, he just nipped the skin but destroyed a brand new pair of socks worth $24. Yeah, I know, a rip off for socks but I love them and they had to live up to their name.
I screeched to a halt, dropped the bike and start chasing the mutt around intent on sinking my foot into it's bollocks but it had the sense to hide under it's owners legs. For a brief moment, I contemplated sinking said foot into both of them because I still hadn't arrived at my favourite coffee spot, and as readers will realise from my last post, a caffeine depleted Dogbait is not to be messed around with.
The woman was mortified and apologetic and I calmed down enough to give her a right bollocking (I seem to like that word) about her responsibilities as a dog owner. She immediately gave me her name and address and promised to buy replacement socks today or else I told her I'd be off to the City Council. I said she can choose between $24 or a $250 fine so methinks that should get a new pair pronto. I could always hold out hope for a box of chockies too.
I mounted trusty steed and arrived at my midway coffee haunt to find it had just closed for the day. I thought, god help any poor bastard that crossed me on the trip home.
NEWSFLASH! Cafe in Barwon Heads burnt to the ground in overnight fire.
All is Well
Dog "Cynical" Bait
Further to my last post about our visit to Point Nepean National Park, this popped up in today's newspaper. A short video at the start gives a quick overview of the Park.
I shudder whenever Parks Victoria comes up with a scheme. For three years now, they have scheduled then cancelled a burn-off in the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve.
If it goes ahead, I'll probably be writing my next blog from a homeless shelter.
A Memorable Day
Okay, I'm a bad blogger, but hey, we're still here. Same old story that we don't have any spare time with this retirement caper. Flitting here there and everywhere and hardly time to scratch oneself.
A few weeks back, MP's sister visited and we decided on a bike trip to Point Nepean across the other side of the Bay. Riding across The Rip on bikes was going to be somewhat tricky so we opted for the 45 minute Peninsula Ferry from Queenscliff to Sorrento.
Point Nepean is a former military site where in the late 1800's it was thought prudent to stick a few big guns and some troops in case the Russians, Germans or any other unsavoury characters decided to stick their noses into our business. The Rip is a very narrow stretch of wild water which leads into Port Phillip Bay and of course of military significance.
In 2002, the Federal government decided that some rusty cannons weren't going to stop any belligerent nuclear warship so decided to sell the land off for development. Naturally, this beautiful piece of land was heavily defended by loud community protests and so in 2009 the land was finally ceded to the Victorian government and is now a National Park.
We left the car at Drysdale and rode the 17k to Queenscliff and alighted from the ferry at Sorrento on a beautiful sunny day and then rode the 10k to the entrance of the Park. The girls decided to stop for a quick breather before we made our way along this narrow peninsula towards the tip of Pt Nepean.
We came across this piece of Australian history and assisted in the search which proved fruitless. Of course, all Aussies know that a Chinese submarine got to him first. The fact is the idiot decided on a swim in very treacherous waters and the country was spared any further leadership from this brain dead PM. Literally and figuratively.
It's car free for 8k but you can ride your bikes up along nice tracks to about 800 metres from the Point to where the shuttle bus is only allowed and then you have to walk to the Point.
Looking over to our side of the Bay towards Pt Lonsdale, the sky looked ominous but DB confidently predicted it would skim past especially as some of us didn't have wet weather gear.
We spent some time exploring the old gun emplacements and underground ammunition bunkers to finally emerge to this. Keeping in mind that last photo, we had to walk up that road in the distance to collect our bikes. The rain eased a bit so we took off only to get drowned before we even got to the bikes followed by a very soggy ride back to Sorrento. We grabbed the first ferry back but could still muster the semblance of a smile while sitting in cold, wet clothes. However, the meat pie and coffee was to die for.
We looked out the window and decided the view to Queenscliff necessitated an emergency call to the Wallington Taxi Service to avoid the ride back to Drysdale.
Muppet's Mum soon arrived and took me back to collect the car while the girls suffered in the warm cafe sipping hot chocolates.
A memorable day. Will do it again but may rely on a better meteorologist than the one we had.
The Perils of Age
I had the same conversation with my doctor recently.
